THAT AN IMMEDIATE EFFECT

peace.
THAT AN IMMEDIATE EFFECT
has already been produced by Mr..
O'Brien's visit, is no longer doubted.
For instance, Lord Lansdowne, who is
accustomed to spend some time at the
go there this year so bitter is the feel :
ing aroused against him by O'Brien.
AS lord Lansdowne will not be in
Toronto, when MI. O'Brien is, but at
Ottowa, where demonstration in his
honor is organizing, some think that
any trouble, if trouble there is, will
take place the same day.
TORONTO, May IA public meeting
was held this afternoon, in Queens
Park, to protest against William
O'Brien's coming to this city for the
purpose Of speaking against the Cover
nor-General. The meeting was at
tended by between 10000 and 1900
people. The proceedings were charac-
uerized by the greatest enthusiasm
and perfect order. Mayor Rowland
presided. After the mayor had read
the proclamation calling the meeting to
order, Bishop, of Algoma, moved the
first resolution as follows: THAT this
meeting reprobates the action OF Viii
liam O'Brien in visiting this city for the
purpose OF exciting hostile feeling
against His Excellency, the Governor
General, on account of differences be-
tween His Excellency and his tenants
in Ireland, aud expresses its entire un-'
abated confidence in the high character
OF His Excellency the Marquis OF Lans-
downe, and in his fitness 10 represent
Her Majesty in G6n ada ~
His LO. dsAip in moving the resolu-
tons, protested against the great
wrong, the unb.ushing indecency and
audacious impertinence about to be
perpetrsted by O'Brien in coming to
Toronto, and said this fair Dominion
was not home for rebels. O'Brien's
coming was founded on falsehood and
hypocrisy.
H. T. Clarke, Member of Parliament,
seconded the resolution, which was
supported by the Bishop of Toronto,
and carried amid tremendous cheering
and waving of hats. Only about twenty
hands we're held up against the resolu-
ton.
Professor Goodwin Smith moved the
second resolution, as follows: THAT
this meeting looks with perfect conf
dence to the Parliament of the United
Kingdom for wise and just settlement
of all questions relating to Ireland. "
He said while willing to give all the
benefit To Irish citizens, he wanted to
be done with this trucking to the Irish
vote. Speaking of O'BrIen, he said,
they did not want to have his excel
lency attacked by men stepped in venom
and with lips enrowed with untruth.
Rev. DR.. Potts and Rev. G. NJ. Milii-
gan supported the resolution, which
was carried amidst tremendous cheers,
only one or two hands being held up
against it.
A resolution was carr ed that copies
OF these resolutions be transmitted to
the Governor. General, and Lord
Salisbury charged that the true
trouble in Ireland was net with
the landlords but with the tenants,
who were moonlighters, boycotters,
ETC.. Mayor Rowland addressed the
meeting, thanking them for their or
derby behavior, urging them amid
series OF never" to give o. Brien fair
hearing. if he came here. Three cheers
were given amidst great enthusiasm,
waving hats for the Queen and Lord
Lansdowne and the vast multitude,
with uncovered heads, Joined in sing
ing the National anthem.
Adjourned.
Mayor Howland sent the following
cablegram to Lord Salisbury: a
great mass-meeting at Queens
Park. Toronto repudiates O'Brien's
mission, and expresses confidence in
Lord Lansdowne. She also looks with
confidence to the British Parliament
for wise, just settlement of the Irish
question"
